I can really recommend Peccary. I have a pair of Balmorals from Bonafè with Peccary shaft and they are amazing. Extremely soft and supple, just what you want for the shaft.

Thank Leaves. I wear size 7E on 946 last and it fits me quite well so could you suggest which size should I wear for 74945 or 804?

Moreover, could you tell me which last used for EB button boots made for Leffot? I read somewhere on this topic that it is 062 or 2102B but it seems that it still is not clear. I would appreciate if you could give me some examples about 062 last.

I think Leffot uses the 062 last, but you should probably ask them directly. Their version is Blake Rapid I think, it's not hand welted.

It's not yet become an issue, but preemptively: let's please keep discussion of the Bonafe hippo boot GMTO confined to the appropriate thread: ENZO BONAFÉ MTO and GMTO Central. That way you can all argue about designs in one place!

I think that occasional updates should be in the normal EB thread as well so others can see what is going on and jump in once the general ideas are set. It is only fair for the many readers on here.

Yep, I'll be providing updates here and in other relevant threads as the process moves forward! Just hoping to keep the more granular discussion to the dedicated GMTO thread. Thanks.

Okay but you can bring whatever details you want here at any time because I'm sure that many of us didn't even know of more than this one EB thread. I didn't until you mentioned it so many of us just talk GMTO ideas on here anyway.

Thanks for the assurance. Here are some updates on things (initial post can be found in my signature):

*Jan. 5 Update:*

- Shoe GMTOs will be $40-50 less than boots. So: $835-845 shipped to CONUS.

While we're on the jag about exotics and hide procurement, can anyone speak to Bonafe's ability to access and work with Croc or Gator "nubuck"? I also saw mountain ram nubuck on Meccariello's instagram and it could be sweet in the right style of shoe.

Just so you guys know, Massdrop is doing a special on a group buy of Saphir Polishes. The price is amazing and they are also offering the cordovan cream as well as the renovator on top of the normal polishes.

EB has normal croc just not nubuck suede croc. I have seen stcrispin nubuck croc & swatches in real life. Get ready to have your mind blow on varieties of color & option available. Totally well worth it, well if you are after nubuck suede croc.
